2I go wonderin once again
                          D1
3Back to the seasons of my youth
    A2
4I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                              D3
5And how my momma put the rags to use
6

           A4
8There were rags of many colors
9
10Every piece was small
11
12And I didnt have a coat
           E5
13And it was way down in the fall
      A6
14Momma sewed the rags together
      D7
15Sewin every piece with love
            A8
16She made my coat of many colors
     E9        A10
17That I was so proud of

21As she sewed, she told a story
22
23From the bible, she had read
24
25G#out a coat of many colors
       E11
26Joseph wore and then she said
A12
27Perhaps this coat will bring you
     D13
28Good luck and happiness
           A14
29And I just couldnt wait to wear it
          E15                 A16
30And momma blessed it with a kiss
31
32
   D17
33My coat of many colors
        A18
34That my momma made for me
     D19
35Made only from rags
      A20          E21
36But I wore it so proudly
  A22
37Although we had no money
      D23
38I was rich as I could be
      A24
39In my coat of many colors
   E25              A26
40My momma made for me
41
42
        B27
43So with patches on my britches
44
45Holes in both my shoes
46
47In my coat of many colors
  F#28
48I hurried off to school
        B29
49Just to find the others laughing
    E30
50And making fun of me
      B31
51In my coat of many colors
   F#32              E33
52My momma made for me
53
54
         B34
55And oh I couldnt understand it
56
57For I felt I was rich
58
59And I told them of the love
         F#35
60My momma sewed in every stitch
      B36
61And I told em all the story
      E37
62Momma told me while she sewed
           B38
63And how my coat of many colors
          F#39                   B40
64Was worth more than all their clothes
65
66
         E41
67But they didnt understand it
      B42
68And I tried to make them see
     E43
69That one is only poor
     B44                 F#45
70Only if they choose to be
      B46
71Now I know we had no money
          E47
72But I was rich as I could be
      B48
73In my coat of many colors
   F#49              E50        B51
74My momma made for me
